Oh, What’s Occurring?
The first public question asked which subject should be turned into a musical even though nobody had yet done so.
Suggestions included David Beckham, Rihanna’s life, Keeping Up Appearances and Countdown. The latter inspired an immediate song built around requesting another consonant.
There was no clear repeated public answer, but Countdown became the studio favourite.
The Surgery’s alcohol count
Jono from Unofficial Mills supplied a montage from Aled Haydn Jones’s The Surgery, whose recent programme had been devoted to drinking.
The word “alcohol” was repeated in questions, links, explanations and a slowed-down musical section.
The final count was 65.
The phrase that pays
Scott called five Radio 1 listeners and announced that they were live on air and needed only to give “the phrase that pays”.
There was no genuine predetermined answer. The point was to see what people produced under pressure.
Responses included “What’s occurring?”, “I’m going to go and have a coffee now”, “getting half a pound of cheese”, “continue to listen to this guy” and “don’t put a ferret down my trousers”.
Nobody supplied the same phrase, but the ferret answer became the favourite.
